The Hill-Side Finally Made Watch Bands

It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about their sneakers, pocket squares, ties, scarves, totes or caps, The Hill-Side has always been about quality materials and construction. The patterns and colors in their fabrics are second to none and, quite frankly, gorgeous. Now we all have the opportunity to wear some of those cool patterns on our wrists with their new watch bands. The inaugural offering includes seven different options: Mitchell Camo, Tan Cloud Camo, Confetti Print, Big Crazy Floral Print, Linen Indigo Discharge Print, Indigo / Red Stripe and Panama Cloth. Each band has a different pattern, but they’re all 100% cotton with a lightweight cotton backing, 18mm wide, Made in New York with Japanese fabric, trimmed in brown leather and outfitted with painted brass mil-spec buckles and eyelets. They’re going to keep looking good long after the Timex we plan on putting it on.

AirPods, Apple’s popular wireless headphones, get a fresh look thanks to BlackPods, a company that paints real Apple AirPods using a proprietary painting and finishing process. Available in matte black, space gray or high-gloss black finish, each pair is hand-finished and tested. Whether you’re sending in yours or ordering new, combining the flexibility of wireless headphones with the sleek and luxurious BlackPods look will make plain old white AirPods seem boring by comparison. Better yet, BlackPods gives you $30 off your order by joining their e-mail list. It’s time to upgrade.
